There were struggles before the wedding and there will continue to be new surprises throughout our marriage together. <br />But, at the end of the day, I want to know that he's the best thing to ever come into my life and continue to be grateful for him despite our challenges. I see that in you and J...thanks for being a good example to us!<br /><br />Natalie is right, though, that it sometimes feels as though people assume we didn't know that there wil be challenges ahead. It's like an impending doom that they're warning us about. I appreciate having the hope and joy and trust that we're ready for what's to come. With all it's cracks.<br /><br />Thanks you guys!laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12197975924949759732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7792778089193339561.post-27967199512406397102011-04-22T10:23:42.318-07:002011-04-22T10:23:42.318-07:00It's not negative nancy, really, its just that...It's not negative nancy, really, its just that there are things you lose, or trade, to share your life with someone. And the longer the sharing the more you exchange, the more you sacrifice. It's bittersweet, because when you hand someone your heart, you are at their mercy in a particular way, and everyone makes little mistakes. Imagine walking around in your daily life holding an egg, how difficult it would be to not break it, to be mindful of it constantly. After 13 years, my egg has a few cracks, but so does my husbands. And that's both sad and beautiful at the same time...also a little funny, really.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543088956071075396noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7792778089193339561.post-68868850330622540372011-04-21T11:50:37.427-07:002011-04-21T11:50:37.427-07:00Just came across your blog... I can totally relate...Just came across your blog... I can totally relate to this post! When I was engaged, ALL I heard is,"Wait until you are married 15 years," "Oh gosh, it will all change once you get married," "Planning a wedding is stressful and I would not even plan one, just go to the courthouse." It used to make me so mad! People are so negative! I've just learned to smile and keep going... I will just see for myself. It's only been five months since we have been married but it's better than ever! Just blow those negative Nancys off! :) Loving your blog!!Natalie and Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10851082885145270625noreply@blogger.com
